tearjerker director

Chapter 457 The Story After the End

What makes "The Truman Show" the envy and hatred of many literary and artistic film directors is that the promotion of this film has been done in the front since the filming started.

The point is that the astronomical price of 4.2 million yuan for the placement of advertisements made them jealous.

However this is just the beginning.

It can be said that although "The Truman Show" is a literary movie, the announcement of this movie is not literary at all.

It can even be said to be more exaggerated than the publicity of any commercial movie.

But the problem is that this movie, it didn't say how much publicity expenses were spent, not only that, even when the filming started, several hundred million had already been recorded.

The publicity effect is comparable to those annual blockbusters, but the publicity funds spent are pitifully small.

This even makes some literary and artistic film directors have an illusion, is it true that if their literary and artistic films are well publicized, they can completely reach the box office of commercial films?

Of course, no one has tried this yet.

But when the first-day box office of "The Truman Show" was released, everyone was shocked.

On June [-], "The Truman Show" may have been pre-screened, which spread the word-of-mouth of the film in advance.

Perhaps it was due to the various strange phenomena caused by the small-scale screening.

Or maybe it's because the movie fans have been hungry for a long time, so they watch movies in retaliation.

On the day of the premiere, the attendance rate of the golden shows almost always exceeded 80%!
And the average attendance rate is also frighteningly high, plus there are no other heavyweight movies released in the same period, which cleared the schedule for this movie.

As a result, the box office on the first day exceeded 2 million!
This kind of achievement, not to mention those filmmakers, even Li Yi himself thinks it is a bit too exaggerated.

In fact, "The Truman Show" in my memory has a very strong reputation, but the box office is really not that high.

But he never expected that "The Truman Show" actually launched a satellite on the first day!
This is really a literary film.

""The Truman Show" has a box office of over [-] million on its first day! Or book the box office champion of the year!"

""The Truman Show" grossed [-] million at the box office on the first day, rewriting the history of literary and artistic films whether they were popular or not!"

"Literary movies can also sell well, and "The Truman Show" is the benchmark!"

"The famous Chinese director Li Yiyi changed his tear-jerking style to a literary one. "The Truman Show" was well-received and well-received. There is no distinction between literary and commercial movies, only good movies and bad movies!"

The media blows it up, the movie fans blow it up, and the film critics blow it up!
The topic popularity of "The Truman Show" directly occupied the top of the hot search list, and at the same time, three of the top ten topics were related to this movie!

In North America, although the box office of "The Truman Show" is weaker than that in China.

Only [-] million US dollars was reported on the first day!

However, the hot discussion caused by this movie is not weaker than that in China.

The reason why there was such a big difference in the box office on the first day was mainly because Li Yi's appeal in China was completely different from that in North America.

On the North American side, it is rare for the film critics to keep in line with the audience's taste in this movie.

The interpretation of "The Truman Show" by a famous North American film critic is more clear.

"The Truman Show is undoubtedly a wonderful creative film, and there have been many discussions about the content of the film, so let's discuss the story after the ending.

After Truman left "The Truman Show", what was the first thing he did?
I think countless media reporters are already waiting there.

He may not give interviews at first, he will go to find the Sophia he dreams of.

But then?
He needs a job to live, and maybe he'll find another job as an insurance salesman, which won't be difficult.

Because he is Truman, a celebrity!

So the insurance company will take him, but after that?
He'll be in the news again.

Then everyone will be curious, what is Truman like after coming to the real world?
Is it very familiar?Everyone will still pay attention to him, and the media will also follow up and report because of the attention of the public.

He can no longer enjoy that peaceful life, so what about Sophia?Can she really do better than that actress wife in real life?
When Truman is no longer the much-anticipated Truman, when Truman's fame disappears, when Truman is eliminated from the insurance industry, has no income, and becomes an ordinary person who is invisible to everyone, then she will still Do you like him as much as before?

But this is already the real world!

After leaving the hypocritical Taoyuan Town, he will never - at least not for a long time - a "real" and "ordinary" life.No one said "Welcome to the real world" to Truman.

When he was struggling, hesitant, confused, and even wanted to rush out of the studio, the audience supported him.They were applauding their own desire for life projected upon him, and rightly so.But Truman is not a character, an actor - they often forget that!
So right after Truman's curtain call, the security guards went looking for the next show; so the hostesses would comment like any other eight o'clock slot, "Why didn't he come with her?" "His mother was sick, and he So filial."

Mom's illness is a fake illness, but if Truman doesn't go to Fiji, he really won't go.He is not an actor who has a clear separation between work and life. After this week's filming, he can love traveling, surfing, clubbing, drinking and doing whatever.

When we think about it carefully, the biggest winner is the director.He actually doesn't want Truman to stay after learning the truth, he is just creating a perfect story climax and ending for his masterpiece - think about it, this world's number one reality show, if someone knows how to watch it The script will memorize lines, solicit sponsors, and ask the director "How is my performance?" What does the protagonist do?It’s better to choose a new protagonist, such as a man and a woman, one black and one white, live broadcast from birth, and let the audience look forward to whether they will find each other and even find the truth in the miniature crowd of the studio... Isn’t that how to play a growing game of it?Since he can't read the file, he can simply start over - he can even simply choose five protagonists, gradually grow up, discover the hypocrisy of the world, and then form a five-member team. After ten or twenty years, there will be a more popular ending.

And what about our Truman?He escaped, then what?Even if he wanted to go back again, the studio no longer needed him, he was already a fake.

In fact, it is like many prisoners in prisons. After being imprisoned for many years, they are not willing to get out of prison at all, because they are afraid of the outside world, let alone Truman. He has never come to the real real world. How could he real fit?

So the director made "The World of Truman" come to an abrupt end, because after going out, Truman is another story, a story that will not be liked by people! "
